Catherine works in Andrew Hattersley's research team, and is currently managing the TriMaster clinical trial, a randomised double-blind three-way crossover trial of third-line diabetes therapies. This multicentre study is one strand of the MRC-funded MASTERMIND project led by University of Exeter, looking at stratification in Type 2 diabetes. In addition, she manages the overall MASTERMIND research project, and supports the Strand 2 work in statistical analysis and health economic outcomes.
She joined the University of Exeter in 2010 as part of the diabetes research team and has worked in clinical trial, research and project manager roles.
Based in the NIHR Exeter Clinical Research Facility and UEMS Medical School, she has worked on clinical research projects in diabetes, including genetics of diabetes and stratification of Type 2. Previous studies include the MASTERMIND and RetroMASTER clinical studies, work with the Stroke Research Network as the coordinating centre for English-sites in the INTERSTROKE study and coordinating the EU FP7 CEED3 research project.
